I know!! It truly is an amazing phenomenon. Cheers.
What I love is that the moments of peace are getting longer and happening more frequently. And I've only just begun meditation and experiencing egolessness. I know what you mean, once I experienced peace it was like everything I needed was right there in front of me. It's a glorious feeling. And the thing is...everything I do need is right here. Ahh great stuff, this is making me happy just typing it. I have been trying to find happiness in material things lately. Focusing on peace is a great idea, thank you.
You are so right Edwin, thank you. I realize now that I should have said "stop reacting to thought" rather than "stop thinking", but your reply speaks complete truth. In the midst of trying to find myself and this thoughtless state I directed myself to a video by Sri Bhagavan that I felt best described the "thoughtless" state. He says that thoughts are there, that is a fact, and there is nothing we can do. He says if you allow those thoughts to pass and not react to them, like you said, then the healing can begin. I have found that by accepting myself and accepting my thoughts, no matter what they are, that I have begun to transform the way I have been thinking. I guess my ego was attacking me. I would think something I didn’t want think and then run away from it, so my ego would pursue that. Once I starting looking at my thoughts and stopped reacting to them, I stopped feeding the ego. Now those thoughts never come. I'm not sure I believe in a thoughtless state. Although I have experienced a state of not reacting to my thoughts, and this almost seems thoughtless. Acceptance was the hardest thing that I had to do, but it was the most important. I understand what you mean by feeling the good things now. When I replied to this it was a spur of the moment thought I had after reading only a few paragraphs from the LOA secret. Once I read the entire thing it was cleared up.
Thanks both for your replies. If the thoughtless state exists then I can't wait to join you guys there.
Mitch.
